Internationally renowned author James Carroll will explore the complicated
and conflicted 2,000-year history between Jews and the Catholic Church
during Emory Universitys annual Tenenbaum Family Lecture Series
at 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4. The lecture will be held in the Winship Ballroom
of Dobbs University Center, 605 Asbury Circle, on the Emory campus.
Admission is free. For more information, call 404-727-0896.

Carroll, a former Catholic priest, lectures widely on Jewish-Christian
reconciliation. His most recent book, "Constantines Sword:
The Church and the Jews  A History," has sparked debate and
interfaith dialogues at churches and synagogues across the United States.
In the book, Carroll takes a critical look at the Catholic Churchs
treatment of Jews throughout its history and its relation to his own
crisis of faith.

Carroll is the author of nine books, including the New York Times
bestsellers "Mortal Friends," "Family Trade" and
"Prince of Peace," as well as the memoir "An American
Requiem," winner of the National Book Award in 1996. He also writes
a regular column for The Boston Globe.

The Tenenbaum Family Lecture Series, sponsored by Emorys Donald
A. Tam Institute for Jewish Studies, celebrates the family of the late
Meyer W. Tenenbaum of Savannah, Ga., a 1931 alumnus of Emory College
and a 1932 alumnus of Emory Law School. Other Tenenbaum family members
who are Emory alumni include: his son, Samuel J. Tenenbaum of Columbia,
S.C., Emory College class of 1965; nephew-in-law Ronald Kronowitz of
Savannah, Emory Law School class of 1962; and nephew Bert Tenenbaum
of Savannah, Emory College class of 1975.
